Better update your security policies to not allow pita bread on premises....

Forget NAC, we need SNACK... "If you see food near your PC, eat it at once and report any exceptionally crunchy bits to IT Security."

now I am wondering what's in that box of cookies on the co-workers desk,  mmmmm might have to investigate, yum. yum chomp, chomp..........Well the only chips I found in there were chocolate chips.   I hope he appreciates my interest in security, since he was cleared of any mis-doings... ;D

Indeed. We need to add "unattended box of donuts" to our list of things to investigate completely and thoroughly. Especially that one nasty-looking donut that sits there all day and makes you wonder why in the hell the donut-buyer wasted 1/12th of a dozen on that stinker... NOW YOU KNOW! IT'S A HACKING TOOL! POTENTIALLY!
